Bouncing Along, -Blossoms, Bunnies and Borough Market!

On a recent stroll through the hood something caught my attention! Spring buds blossoming already? I rubbed my eyes sleepily to be doubly sure that my brain-eye co-ordination were aligned. And yes, -there they were, the palest of pink with slivers of cream, -blossoms poking out from stubby branches. It's all very promising. Sunshine, blue skies arriving to chase away the chill from the evening before, -there's something about walking without a map or a watch, that always gets my blood moving. In a good way.

I love to wander about this great old city, -one of my favourite hazy walks is along the Thames and through the Borough Markets near London Bridge, -perfect for a little sightseeing, crowd watching, lunching, clearing the cobwebs -and replenishing those writerly grey cells! Not to mention sampling offerings from the market stalls. I'm posting a few snaps here, beware there are shots of game, -if you are slightly queasy, you may wish to look at the blossoms instead, or just skip ahead.

Roll up, roll up! Wait, -this isn't a circus, or is it?
Meandering through the market....

Cheese glorious cheese!

I can never say no to an oyster or two...or dozen.

The pheasant pluckers son may
have his hands full later on....

And, queasy viewers may wish to look away, now - check out the pretty blossoms above...

A/N: This weekend will be busy, -in amongst the jostling of Saturday morning errands, I'm planning to finish at least 2 more chapters in my revisions, and as a welcome treat -there will be afternoon tea with my Bestie on Sunday. Very much looking forward to it! Tell me, whats happening in your neck of the woods?

Danette, good to hear it, London is a great city to visit! ;) I'm not sure if the blossoms are bizarre, certainly surprising given we had snow not so long ago. Although I saw roses during the snow too. Have a wonderful weekend!
